I’ve had very positive experiences working with Embark Behavioral Health. As an adolescent therapist at The Counseling Center Group DC, I’ve been impressed by the continuity of care and the practical DBT skills clients develop throughout the program. Clients leave with meaningful tools that can support their ongoing growth and success beyond IOP. I recommend!

My kids were having a difficult time this year for many reasons and this was a great place to re-set. Everyone was so kind and accommodating and helped us as a whole family. I really trust the care they got and while I expect we still have work to do we are a lot less lost on where to go from here. Also since ending care with Embark, we have been able to get some guidance (before we left as well but even after) on resources outside of their center. Special gratitude to Lydia, Lee and Cameron. Chris from the front desk and Diana from group were also such kind souls. I wish we didn’t have struggles but at the same time we met the kindest people to help us navigate this phase. And now have skills to cope when things come up again (which they will on some level for sure.)

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Clients who are leaving inpatient rehab often choose to transition into an intensive outpatient program (IOP) to receive high-level support as they reintegrate into their home, workplace, and community. Intensive outpatient rehab also benefits those at risk of relapse. Clients typically participate in nine to 20 hours of treatment weekly, with modalities ranging from psychotherapy to addiction and recovery education. Many programs also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT) and complementary care, such as nutrition counseling, and acupuncture.

Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term intensive rehab option designed to provide treatment during the day and you're able to return home at night. PHP treatment offers structured programming, including individual and group therapy, typically meeting 3-5 days a week for 6-8 hours per day. PHP duration averages around 90 days, with some programs offering amenities like transportation and meals.

Treatments

Maryland's addiction experts understand the importance of dual-diagnosis addiction treatment in their inpatient and outpatient recovery programs. Dual-diagnosis means having two mental health disorders at the same time, like addiction and depression. By treating individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions simultaneously, they can enhance recovery outcomes and improve overall health, reducing the risk of relapse. Programs include evidence-based therapies, family counseling, recovery support groups, and skills training. Additional services may include medically assisted detox, 12-Step facilitation, equine therapy, complementary treatments, and alumni programs.

Treatment for drug and alcohol addiction often centers on improving mental health. Inpatient care is ideal for people who need closer monitoring while receiving therapeutic and mental health services. Standard therapies include group and individual counseling, relapse prevention education, coping skills training, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing and family support groups. With all critical therapies combined, there is a greater chance for improving mental health and achieving sustained recovery.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Maryland emphasizes your current life rather than what has happened in the past. Your therapist will help you develop methods to deal with current and future challenges so you can cope in healthy ways that don't involve substances.

Individualized one on one therapy allows the therapist to focus on your specific challenges and strengths. Using a personalized approach enables the therapist to help you develop effective coping mechanisms and build a more stable and fulfilling substance free life.

Accreditations

Do not, under any conditions, send your children here. I implore you, I plead to you. It was mis-advertised to us as a place for teens with problems, but it is intended for teenagers with *serious* substance abuse problems. Our son was the only person in his group who had never used heroin before, but then he got exposed to heroin addicts. The organization also changed names from "Potomac Pathways" when our son went, to "Embark Behavioral Health". Former therapists that worked there have negative opinions (our son's current therapist is a former employee). Do not send your children here. They made our son's addiction even worse, they do not know what they are doing. If you need a good out-patient facility, there's Kolmac Clinic and Maryland Wellness and Recovery. Kolmac has several locations in the DC area, MDWAR currently has one in North Bethesda. Do not give Embark your business, they do not care about long term results, nor your health overall.

Awful therapists and an even worse billing department that is incompetent. There was no communication between the therapists and the clients about when they would be seen. The director would not communicate when a therapist or social worker left the practice and we just discovered empty offices.
